Found… Read Full Bio ↴Thrash/Industrial band from Barcelona, Spain. Formed in 1986.
Founded in November 1986, without a name, and took the moniker Ktulu in early 1987, after Metallica's The Call of Ktulu instrumental composition (in turn, inspired by the writings of HP Lovecraft). The band members pronounce the band's name Kah-toulou.
The band records their first demo in 1987, with only a couple of tracks: Otro Cuento and Legiones de Muerte.
They recorded their second demo in 1988 with 3 songs: Testigos, Uno Más y La Soga.
In 1991 they recorded their first LP with the label «Momentos Thráshicos» (Semaphore).
In 1992 they recorded a new demo of 2 songs No Creo En Ti and Vuelve Mañana with which they perfect their sound and prepare for the jump to the rest of the world.
In 1994 Ktulu changed label, S.M.D. Records in association with another, Hardvinyl Records, and released of their second LP Orden Genético (1994).
Ktulu contributed their song "Apocalipsis 25D" to Alex de la Iglesia's movie El Día de la Bestia (1995).

SOLO
Ktulu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ni tampoco sé muy bien porque
si tengo algo, todo o nada
o lo he dejado de tener
las cosas suelo olvidar
mi memoria no dá para más
solo me queda aceptar la existencia de la realidad
siempre y cuando esté solo yo
Dudo si hago bien o mal
o tan solo lo que puedo hacer
lo que tengo claro es que difícilmente cambiaré
Soy el mejor de mi habitación
siempre y cuando esté sólo yo
Solo yo...
In Ktulu's song "Solo", the songwriter reflects on their own sense of identity and their ability to navigate their reality. The lyrics suggest a sense of uncertainty and a lack of clarity about what the future holds, as the writer admits they don't know where they're going or why they are there. They express a frustration with their own forgetfulness and limited memory power, but come to the conclusion that acceptance of their current reality is the only option.
There is also a sense of isolation in the lyrics, as the writer explains that they are the best version of themselves when they are alone in their own room. This could suggest a preference for introversion or a lack of connection with others. The lyrics also suggest a self-doubt and insecurity, as the writer questions whether they are doing the right thing and expresses a feeling of being unable to change their behavior.
Overall, the song "Solo" is a reflection on the complexities of the self and how one navigates their own reality. It combines a sense of uncertainty and frustration with moments of acceptance and self-awareness.
